From humble beginnings, the mission has grown though the grace of God, into an independent, self-supporting church.

This was the sign at the old mission.	An old Jim Walter house became the home of Fort Adams Baptist Mission.	The Fort Adams Firestation was used by the church for services while the new church building was under construction.	This is the sign in front of the Fort Adams Baptist Church.	A beautiful new church now stands on the site

A group from the church went to Branson. A few of the pictures taken on the trip are shown below.

Bass winners were Jason Stubbs in second at 2.90 pounds, Jerry Enis in third at 2.86 Vin Smylie fourth with a 2.38, John Gray fifth at 2.36 and Tommy Long of Natchez at 2.36 in sixth.

Youth Group Leads Service

"FELLOWSHIP"

The Fort Adams BC Ladies held a retreat  on August 23 at Lake  Mary. We were blessed to have Suellen Gunn and Amy Marler as facilitators for the group. This time of praise, worship, and reflection was very spiritually up lifting for those who attended.

Our Youth Group made a couple of trips together. First, they went to Destin, FL. Time was given for devotions and Bible study. Fun and good food were enjoyed by all. The guys all took a fishing trip. Brother Warren and Brother Richard Coss accompanied the group to Caney Lake.
